hello,
I started driving a 2001 crv (i'm 6 feet tall) and I've noticed the
seat is not the greatest.
Little to no lumbar support (anything over 20 minutes driving gets on
your nerves).

I also have a bmw 525i and those seats are amazing!  Excellent support
all around.

I'm thinking of either getting a lumbar pillow or getting better seats
in the honda.  But what seats can I change these with?  I've heard the
honda minivans have really good front seats, can these fit in the crv?

Or what about after-market seats?  Recaro is expensive but I may find
a good used set.

Basically, I need to improve the front seats (especially driver)
urgently!

Thanks,

Oskar

Many have altered the foam by removing some. Some at www.hondasuv.com 
may have done it to their CR-V's as well. Start by searching the

The 2001 seat has poor lumbar support and it doesn't tilt as far forward
as I'd like. I use a pillow as an arch support presently. I wish I could
go 3 or 4 degrees more upright too. Same on '00 and '97  :-(

Try a local auto upholstery shop.  They may be able to add some padding
to your seat to make it fit you better.  My wife had that done to her
Acura Legend and it helped.
